SMPX wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SMPX wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xp22.12 and is approximately 52 kb in length. This allele, which encodes small muscular protein, is involved in cellular responses to mechanical stress and the coordination of muscle cell networks during muscle growth, adaptation, and repair. Mutations in the gene are associated with X-linked deafness 4 and X-linked adult-onset distal myopathy 7.
